Great place to stay!

We had a great stay with our kids at this property. The host was very good at communicating and responding right away. The location is great, right across the street from the beach and walking distance to an ice cream shop and seafood market.

Great property and experience!

Check in was simple and easy, great location and property was clean and organized. Close walk to the beach, great access to restaurants and activities. Only critique would be more toilet paper stocked and dish towels but we made it work. Thanks for the great beach trip with the family and we would definitely stay here again !

It was great, exactly what we needed.

It is a very nice unit. The lay-out and proximity to stores and restaurants is great. Very spacious layout, and excellent service. I would very much recommend the unit. Easy, covered parking. Easy beach access.

Gulf Shores getaway

Sun Baby was a perfect place for our family vacation, and even better that our dogs were welcome. The house was very clean and well equipped and we loved that it was just a short walk across the street to the beach. We also liked that it’s a short drive to all the shops and restaurants in the center of town. We’d certainly consider returning if we visit Gulf Shores again.

Convenient to the beach!

Very happy with this little bungalow. It is very close to the beach, literally across the street. So nice to have a kitchen and washer/dryer combo. Lust a quick little walk from a little market and ice cream shop. Air is cold and it is spotlessly clean.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa L

Host profile image
While on a road trip with my family in 2018, one of our stops was Gulf Shores. I fell in love with the area as soon as I put my toes in the sugary white sands and experienced the "squeak" as I walked to the water's edge. Within six months, our family decided to purchase a place for us and for guests to enjoy. When I purchased my condo, I wanted to provide a clean, cozy home that welcomes pets as well. As your host, my goal is to provide a place you will want to come back to and visit year after year. I hope you come and stay with us and enjoy our little cottage as much as our family and our French bulldogs do. We look forward to accommodating you on your next beach vacation. Don't forget your furry friend!

Why they chose this property

Sun Baby is located in the quieter part of Gulf Shores. It's close to the main highway, restaurants, shopping and entertainment and has almost everything you need for your beach vacation.

What makes this property unique

This is a detached, free-standing cottage and provides more privacy and quiet than a multi-unit building.
